What Are The Signs That Your Mattress Needs to Be Replaced?

Some experts believe that you should buy a new mattress every 5-10 years. But with the findings of the research, this is not very accurate. The wear of the mattress will be affected by many aspects. For instance, it varies by manufacturer, mattress type, and how you sleep. Therefore, even if some mattresses have been used for more than 10 years, they still sleep well. But some mattresses have degraded to the point where they can no longer provide the support and comfort needed for a restful sleep in less than 5 years. Hence, how often should you change your mattress? Here, we will guide you to find the signs you are looking for to help you know when to say goodnight to your mattress for the last time, instead of simply using a benchmark of 5-10 years to replace your mattress.

Is your mattress coping with changes in your body?

A mattress needs to be attuned to your body for optimal sleep. As grow older our physical needs will change. Therefore, if you gain weight or a new co-sleeper, you must consider using a mattress that can accommodate both of you. Similarly, if you lose weight, you need to consider changing a mattress that can better support your body. 

Is your mattress showing signs of wear and tear?

You should take a few minutes to carefully check the mattress for obvious signs of wear and tear whenever you change the sheets. If you can see a dent in your mattress in the shape of your body, or if you can feel the springs through it. These are all clear signs that it could be time to replace your mattress. 

Is your mattress keeping your partner awake? 

A good mattress needs to support both sleepers with the same comfort level, not just one. If your partner tosses and turns all night, this may affect your quality of sleep. Because if your mattress is not in the best condition, you can feel the motion transfer from your partner.

Are your allergy or asthma symptoms getting worse?

If it isn’t allergy season and there is no other reason for the increase in allergies or asthma symptoms, your mattress might be the culprit. Over time, your mattress will have collected a lot of dead skin cells, dust and dust mites and that may cause allergic reactions and asthma attacks. If cleaning the mattress to reduce dust and mites does not alleviate your symptoms, then it is time for you to change the mattress.

If you recognize any of these signs, it's probably time for a new mattress. For people who need tailor-made pressure relief and support, memory foam is a good choice. If you are prone to overheating at night, it’s best to use a hybrid mattress. In the meantime, here is a brief overview of our favorite mattresses:
